Shikombo, Mbwa nOngobe ova li ve na oukaume wakula. Fiku limwe ova ya olweendo nokatekisa.
Goat, Dog, and Cow
were great friends. One
day they went on a
journey in a taxi.
Eshi va fika oko va li va uka omushingi okwe va pula va fute oimaliwa yavo yolweendo. Ongobe okwa futa oimaliwa yaye yolweendo.
When they reached the
end of their journey, the
driver asked them to
pay their fares. Cow
paid her fare.
Mbwa okwa yandja oshimaliwa sha pitilila shaashi kakwa li i na oimaliwa ya tukuka nawa.
Dog paid a bit extra,
because he did not
have the correct money.
Omushingi kwa hangika ngeno ta pe Mbwa oshendja yaye, eshi Shikombo kwa faduka po ina futa nande osha.
The driver was about to
give Dog his change
when Goat ran away
without paying
anything.
Omushingi okwa uda nai neenghono, eshi Shikombo ina futa sha. Okwa shinga ndele ta i noina yandja vali oshendja yaMbwa.
The driver was very
annoyed. He drove
away without giving
Dog his change.
Opo nee pa dja fiyo okunena eli, Ombwa hai totele nokutaata oihauto, opo i tale ngeenge pamwe tai mono mo omushingi winya a faduka po noshendja yayo.
That is why, even
today, Dog runs
towards a car to peep
inside and find the
driver who owes him his
change.
Okudja tuu efiku olo Oshikombo ohashi faduka po shimha sha udu omudumo woshihauto. Ohashi kala sha tila pamwe otashi kwatwa po eshi inashi futa oimaliwa yovanhu yolweendo.
Goat runs away from
the sound of a car. She
is afraid she will be
arrested for not paying
her fare.
Ongobe ihai kala ina ko nasha ngeenge tai tauluka opate nande taku di oshihauto. Ongobe ohai ende nefimbo layo ngaashi ya hala ngeenge tai tauluka opate, shaashi yo oi shi shi kutya oya wanifa po oifuta yayo yolweendo.
And Cow is not
bothered when a car is
coming. Cow takes her
time crossing the road
because she knows she
paid her fare in full.
